Ep 81 | How to recognize signs of depression in loved ones | Guest: Dr. Joannie DeBrito

Rick Probst sits down with Gary Schneeberger, Assistant to the President for Media Relations at Focus on the Family, to talk about the new documentary Truth Rising—a powerful collaboration between Focus on the Family and the Colson Center.

 

Gary shares how audiences across the country are responding in a big way to the film’s bold message: a call for Christians to live out their faith with courage in a culture that often pushes those beliefs to the margins.

 

Together, Rick and Gary unpack the heart of the documentary, spotlighting real-life stories of conviction and bravery—like that of Jack Phillips—that remind us what it looks like to stand for truth in today’s world.

 

They also talk about where you can watch the film, how quickly the viewership is growing, and why now is the moment to help spread the word so even more people can be encouraged and equipped by its message.

Ep 95 | Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs

Rick talks with Paul Asay of Focus on the Family’s Plugged In — movie, music, TV, and video game reviewer by day... and (as Rick says) maybe wearing tights and a cape by night. Paul is also an author and speaker, joining the conversation to discuss his powerful book “Beauty in the Browns: Walking with Christ in the Darkness of Depression.”

Paul has lived with depression since childhood, and in this honest conversation, he opens up about how faith, family, and creativity have helped him walk through the darkness with Christ. Rick and Paul talk about what it means to stay connected to God in hard seasons, practical steps for those struggling with depression, and how our digital world — especially our smartphones — can both help and hinder our mental health.

They also dive into Paul’s passion for pop culture — from movies that surprise him (for better or worse) to the upcoming Christmas releases he’s excited about.

Paul Asay is a longtime contributor to Focus on the Family’s Plugged In, author of Beauty in the Browns and God on the Streets of Gotham.
